@priscillaroberts7945 For sure, but I recall the incident that kicked this off. John's wife had a short ride along Blackpool sea front in one of said Jags at a Party Conference. They were criticised for not walking. It was blowing a hoolie, as it can in Blackpool, he pointed out if she'd walked and her hair was a mess it'd be all over every front page. And he was right, some gutter snipe journalists demand a win win, and I think "git" is a good word for them, agree?
I was born in Hull and often saw John about town. An imposing character indeed. Ballad of Lucy Jordan by Marianne was the best version ever. RIP to both.
Prestcott…fire, brimstone and passion in his beliefs…… old school yes, but honest and straightforward. Qualities that should be on the job description of every MP.

Morning Dave yes John was a gentleman far better than the lot we have now. It's the fault of the people who don't vote allowing the rubbish in. Have a great day everyone.
We have a soft spot for John Prescott on the IOM. When the cumbrian fishing vessel sank in Manx waters losing all 7 fishermens lives, John Prescott was key along with the manx government getting the fishing vessel along with the 7 bodies raised from the sea bed. I watched the Solway Harvester moored up in Douglas harbour for many years before it was scrapped. He was a very good man..RIP John👍👏👏
Morning Dave , John Prescott ten years deputy prime minister can you imagine any of these fly by night politicians we have today lasting a fraction of that time.
Nice words Dave for John (Rocky) Prescott he was always my kind of MP and as you say look around at the so-called MPs today they’re a bloody joke !! Nice pipe playing frae A.Campbell 👍🏴✊
Dave it's years ago that I remarked about John to you , I remember Dennis Skinner asking John for a new junction on the M1 he agreed if it created jobs you've can have. I emailed local politicians to name the roads a John Prescott together with a Dennis Skinner in recognition , no response. They created many new jobs because of 29a both are unappreciated in the area they deserve that lifetime respect.
Morning Dave, John Prescott great strait talking man , impressive 🍺 downing, as you say how the country's politicians and a lot of society has fallen, wish we could turn the clock back.
I remember her Dave and her lovely songs from the 1960 s May she rest in peace John Prescott was a Labour MP and he was one of the few that supported Jeremy Corbyn I liked him Bless him Some of these MPs now are a disaster they are only there for themselves not us or our country thanks Dave Take Care everyone
Morning Dave and accessories. Agree with all comments regarding ‘don’t give a fuck’ John Prescott. On my way offshore one time, saw John at Glasgow Stn. Must have been going with Mr Campbell for a baggy lesson, not to blow his own trumpet. Good bloke contaminated by Bliar and Co. Last of the few. Have a great day everyone and whistle if you work. 👊🫵✊💥💥🎶👋
Good afternoon Dave, absolutely brilliant video, Prescott was a great bloke, Alistair Campbell very good on the bagpipes, and Jeremy Corbyn all top blokes, have a great day brother solidarity forever 😊
Morning Dave, RIP MF. John supping a pint and farage sipping a pint, no contest in any walk of life, John a proper man of the people not a kid on one like farage. RIP JP. 👍🏻✊🏻✌🏻🇯🇴
I could do a pint quicker than that but a noble effort by John. I left the Labour Party after a dispute but rejoined when John threw a punch at the bloke who chucked an egg at him. A great spirit.
@DonkeyDave269 , not any more! I've been sober for 24 years now but I was a proper swiller in my day. As you say, they don't make politicians like John Prescott any more, which is a shame. I'm in the Labour Party but feel politically homeless a lot of the time. I'm old school Left.
I don't think that we'll see his like again unfortunately, too many of our politicians are university graduates, and drop-outs who don't seem to have a clue about normal people, I used to work in Cambridge University the majority of those people live on another planet where they've never had to worry about putting food on the table or paying bills, thanks Dave great video.
He was a character, was Prezza! I remember seeing him in my town when he came down on the battle bus. Didn't he once put two fingers up (or one) to a reporter? Lol
This video , which I found very moving and inspirational , is not the place for your dig about “proper Labour”. I remember Margaret Thatcher and it took new Labour to finish off the Tories for quite a long time , to the benefit of the country, including you.
@@californiadreamin8423 surely Blair got into power because he was a Tory same as sir kier, The old style just tagged along to get a position in government, just look how Corbyn bombed out , nobody wants a socialist other than in some old guys head
as politicians go , he didnt harm me tat much , i get that when someon passes we speak well of them ,thats the best i have to say of him , he didnt mither me too much ,
Did Like John Prescott for the most part. But for me any bit about him seems incomplete without the egg incident. And WTF man! 2 months for a funeral, why was that? Sorry I don't watch TV news if it's been on that.
Hi Dave JP was a funny old boy I met him a couple of times Always down to earth I thought AC was playing a Scottish anthem from the valleys Whatever it was he must have had a big Elastoplast over his …… Good news you where the right way around this morning Funny last night 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I remember some of the prominent politicians from yesteryear. Politicians who weren't frightened of speaking their mind. Dennis Skinner, Tony Benn, and my former mp for Batley Mike Wood, who openly criticised Blair's illegal war. None of these were israeli lobbyists like what we have now. Sure you had ministers who had trouble keeping their pants on but the state of Westminster now is depressing. Look at the way Corbyn was treated by his so called labour colleagues
John Prescott was the 'working class' enabler of neoliberal policies. He managed to get through the abolition of Clause 4 on a second vote in 1994. This clause was a Labour Party commitment to the public ownership of key industries. With the 1997 election win, Prescott became deputy prime minister. He supported the encroaching privatisation of Royal Mail, and the complete privatisation of Air Traffic Control. He backed the introduction of tuition fees for university students in September 1998, when he himself had been able to go to Ruskin and Hull University with grants. In 2001 he fully backed British support for the American invasion of Iraq. The following year, he adopted an aggressive stance against the firefighters’ strike. He blocked the original 16% pay offer, saying it was “excessive” that the strikes were “unnecessary” and that the Fire Brigades Union should halt them immediately. Resigning from the Commons in 2007 with the defeat of Blair, Prescott subsequently became Baron Prescott in the House of Lords. Two years before he had denounced the “flunkery and titles” of the House of Lords in an interview. He now fully devoted himself to increasing his wealth. Every part of the parliamentary racket, from David Cameron to Blair, Starmer and Alistair Campbell, mourned Prescott’s death, with Jeremy Corbyn chiming in to say “I am really sad to hear that John Prescott has passed away. John was a huge figure and personality, from his seafaring union days to the highest offices in Government.” A salutary lesson that Parliament and the Labour Party are the enemies of working class emancipation. Prescott was not a 'working class hero' but, as one of his old seafarer ex-friends told him, “a fucking sellout.”
Dave, I didn't think you would have missed Calvin Robinson, ex GBbeebies presenter, Brexit supporter, and Farage supporter, getting defrocked by the Anglican Church due to his Nazi salute. They walk amongst us.
Good bloke was John, a lot of the good things he did were never spoken about. Another welshman who was adopted by the fair city of Hull✊️. Who else you ask was adopted🤔....... Clive Sullivan RL Legend! Say no more
Morning. Dave. And. The. Good. People Dave. When. Are the. Tories. Going. Thought when. Are. They. Being. Held. To account. I. Hope it's. Soon as. For the. Farage. Missing. So. Called. MP he. Can. Get. Stuffed. In. My. Book. Have a lovely day. 😊😊😊😊😊.
And this was the reason the Tory's hated him, fourty years in Westminster fighting for Hull and the working class!, RIP John Prescott.

Morning Dave and accessories. Agree with all comments regarding ‘don’t give a fuck’ John Prescott. On my way offshore one time, saw John at Glasgow Stn. Must have been going with Mr Campbell for a baggy lesson, not to blow his own trumpet. Good bloke contaminated by Bliar and Co. Last of the few. Have a great day everyone and whistle if you work. 👊🫵✊💥💥🎶👋
@@alankenyon8179 afternoon Alan, great comment brother ✊
Good afternoon Dave, absolutely brilliant video, Prescott was a great bloke, Alistair Campbell very good on the bagpipes, and Jeremy Corbyn all top blokes, have a great day brother solidarity forever 😊
@@Gillmeister2465 good afternoon Daz, yes a proper working class bloke was John. Have a great weekend brother ✊
Alistair Campbell is a war criminal, have you lot got mo morals whatsoever???
Morning Dave, RIP MF. John supping a pint and farage sipping a pint, no contest in any walk of life, John a proper man of the people not a kid on one like farage. RIP JP.

Dave, when the Labour Party was closer to the working person by far than it is today.
Very true the media, Farage, Corbyn statement.
In solidarity.

Morning Dave yes a true working class MP and what a send off and you couldn't have been more right with your end comment so well said Dave
@@johnwilliams6900 solidarity John. Have a great weekend ✊
He was a trade unionist first and foremost. We could do with that representation now. God bless him. He made Ruskin College very proud.
@@pic101 well said Lee ✊
I could do a pint quicker than that but a noble effort by John. I left the Labour Party after a dispute but rejoined when John threw a punch at the bloke who chucked an egg at him. A great spirit.
@@chrisSmith-nz9qr impressive party trick Chris lad ✊
@DonkeyDave269 , not any more! I've been sober for 24 years now but I was a proper swiller in my day.
As you say, they don't make politicians like John Prescott any more, which is a shame. I'm in the Labour Party but feel politically homeless a lot of the time. I'm old school Left.
@ yes I feel politically homeless to Chris lad. 😬
I don't think that we'll see his like again unfortunately, too many of our politicians are university graduates, and drop-outs who don't seem to have a clue about normal people, I used to work in Cambridge University the majority of those people live on another planet where they've never had to worry about putting food on the table or paying bills, thanks Dave great video.
Correct Storky, they certainly have never gone without anything 👍
Great vlog today Dave. You did JP proud.

He was a true politician. The politicians today have lost their sense of direction

Good morning Dave, yes John Prescot was proper labour, unfortunately under Tony Blairs new labour
Good morning Karl ✊
This video , which I found very moving and inspirational , is not the place for your dig about “proper Labour”. I remember Margaret Thatcher and it took new Labour to finish off the Tories for quite a long time , to the benefit of the country, including you.
@@californiadreamin8423 surely Blair got into power because he was a Tory same as sir kier,
The old style just tagged along to get a position in government, just look how Corbyn bombed out , nobody wants a socialist other than in some old guys head
as politicians go , he didnt harm me tat much , i get that when someon passes we speak well of them ,thats the best i have to say of him
, he didnt mither me too much ,

What a tribute ✊🏻 great stuff Dave. A different time when you could connect with the people with truth, facts and passion. Stay safe brother ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾
Cheers Simmo lad. Have a great weekend, solidarity brother ✊
Did Like John Prescott for the most part. But for me any bit about him seems incomplete without the egg incident.
And WTF man! 2 months for a funeral, why was that? Sorry I don't watch TV news if it's been on that.
Afternoon Susan, yes he has been dead a long time to be fair 🤔. Have a great weekend ✊
John the jab 🤜👊. An eye for an egg.
@@sgbh8874 he didn’t walk around with a bodyguard ✊
Hi Dave JP was a funny old boy I met him a couple of times Always down to earth I thought AC was playing a Scottish anthem from the valleys Whatever it was he must have had a big Elastoplast over his ……
Good news you where the right way around this morning Funny last night 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Afternoon Steve, not sure what happened last night brother 🤔. Have a great weekend ✊
Morning Dave. Same shit, different day
@@jamesmcelhoney2057 good afternoon James. Solidarity brother ✊
Very wise words about the media, Dave!✅👍😊
@@tonyking2030 cheers Tony, have a great weekend ✊
I remember some of the prominent politicians from yesteryear. Politicians who weren't frightened of speaking their mind. Dennis Skinner, Tony Benn, and my former mp for Batley Mike Wood, who openly criticised Blair's illegal war. None of these were israeli lobbyists like what we have now. Sure you had ministers who had trouble keeping their pants on but the state of Westminster now is depressing. Look at the way Corbyn was treated by his so called labour colleagues
Well said brother 👏👏👏👏
Good day Dave,sad to see people passing away,makes you sad and makes you feel old,have a great day and weekend✊✊✊✊❤️
@@gerrypowell2748 afternoon Gerry, we are old brother 😬
John Prescott was the 'working class' enabler of neoliberal policies. He managed to get through the abolition of Clause 4 on a second vote in 1994. This clause was a Labour Party commitment to the public ownership of key industries. With the 1997 election win, Prescott became deputy prime minister. He supported the encroaching privatisation of Royal Mail, and the complete privatisation of Air Traffic Control. He backed the introduction of tuition fees for university students in September 1998, when he himself had been able to go to Ruskin and Hull University with grants.
In 2001 he fully backed British support for the American invasion of Iraq. The following year, he adopted an aggressive stance against the firefighters’ strike. He blocked the original 16% pay offer, saying it was “excessive” that the strikes were “unnecessary” and that the Fire Brigades Union should halt them immediately.
Resigning from the Commons in 2007 with the defeat of Blair, Prescott subsequently became Baron Prescott in the House of Lords. Two years before he had denounced the “flunkery and titles” of the House of Lords in an interview. He now fully devoted himself to increasing his wealth.
Every part of the parliamentary racket, from David Cameron to Blair, Starmer and Alistair Campbell, mourned Prescott’s death, with Jeremy Corbyn chiming in to say “I am really sad to hear that John Prescott has passed away. John was a huge figure and personality, from his seafaring union days to the highest offices in Government.”
A salutary lesson that Parliament and the Labour Party are the enemies of working class emancipation. Prescott was not a 'working class hero' but, as one of his old seafarer ex-friends told him, “a fucking sellout.”
@@AutonomousVoice good comment brother. But surely he was better than what we have now 🤔
@@DonkeyDave269 They're all part of the same destructive, harmful machine to our detriment.

Dave, I didn't think you would have missed Calvin Robinson, ex GBbeebies presenter, Brexit supporter, and Farage supporter, getting defrocked by the Anglican Church due to his Nazi salute. They walk amongst us.

There are few MPs worth listening to any more maybe because none of them worked so don’t know what a real job getting up at 6am and toiling
